NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.

Grenville Strategic Royalty Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GRC) ("Grenville" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by National Bank Financial Inc. (collectively the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase on a "bought deal" private placement basis 20,000,000 special warrants (the "Special Warrants") of the Company, at a price (the "Issue Price") of $0.50 per Special Warrant for gross proceeds of $10,000,000.

Each Special Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to receive one common share of the Company (a "Common Share"). The Special Warrants will be exercisable by the holders thereof at any time after the Closing Date for no additional consideration and all unexercised Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised on the earlier of: (a) the date that is four months and a day following the Closing Date, and (b) the third business day after a receipt is issued for a (final) prospectus by the securities regulatory authorities in each of the Provinces of Canada, except Quebec, where the Special Warrants are sold qualifying the Common Shares to be issued upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants (the "Final Qualification Prospectus"). The Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain such receipt for the Final Qualification Prospectus on or prior to the date that is 60 days from the Closing Date.

Grenville intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for the future purchase of revenue royalties in the Company's target markets and for general corporate purposes.

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about March 27, 2014 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and other securities regulatory authorities as applicable.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

About Grenville

Grenville is a Toronto-based company that was formed to provide royalty-based finance solutions by acquiring revenue streams generated by growing industrial and technology businesses. Grenville has identified a large and underserviced finance market for companies generating up to $50 million in revenue, many of which are well managed and generating improving cash flow, but face difficult financing hurdles from traditional debt and equity markets. The non-dilutive royalty financing structure offered by Grenville can bridge the financing needs of these companies until traditional debt or equity is available to them on more attractive commercial terms. The application of Grenville's royalty financing structure into sectors not traditionally serviced by royalty companies represents a new and innovative financing model - Capital Simplified - that has already attracted a considerable number of opportunities with attractive potential returns.
